Versatile cottage for those who want to disconnect and relax (with a lot of options to entertain yourself and the kiddos), but also has upstairs work space with 24'' monitor for those who need to plug in while others are relaxing, exploring, or enjoying the beach.

This was the first house built on the street in 1965. It's a classic A-frame updated with modern amenities but also very much retaining it's classic charm, including the original Hotpoint Kitchenette brought from Ohio! Comfy, cozy, and interesting design.  A rare gem of a beach house in the OBX.

Amenities include:
- outdoor shower on way to/from the beach; 
- outdoor grill;
 - 2 adult bicycle beach cruisers; 
- beach closet (w/ beach cart, beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach buckets/toys, corn hole, kids golf game); 
- fish cleaning table (& sand spikes for rods in beach closet);
 - laundry closet under house with washer/dryer; 
- yoga mat / blocks / strap / exercise bands;
 - USB charging stations next to beds;

Our vacation was perfect! I was so sad when it was over I actually cried! The house was very clean and cozy. It fit my family of 6 comfortably. Also, the communication between myself and the owner was prompt and very helpful. The private walk over the dunes was about 2 minutes. The beach was beautiful. We got to watch the sunrise and the moon rise from the beach on the same day. It was amazing. My family made some really great memories that will last a lifetime! We can’t wait to come back!

Great Family Vacation to OBX. Family of three with an 11 yr old stayed a week in July and could not asked for a better first trip to the Outer Banks. The cottage was very cozy and plenty of room for the three of us. Has everything you need to relax for a dinner in or close to surrounding that are not tourist. Great location and a short walk up the dunes to the beach where you can be in your own on the beach. Overall Great Stay!!

Awesome Family Getaway

We DIDN’T want to leave!!!! My family had an amazing time. We explored the beaches, we enjoyed the area, grilled outside, walked the beach at night…it was exactly the peacefulness we needed. We plan on making this a definite ‘go to’ for our family vacations! The owners were very communicative and extremely accommodating. Simply a great time!!

Wonderful Spot!

We stayed here for a few days and absolutely loved our time here! The beach was just a few minutes walk away and it was a great spot and not overly crowded. The house itself was so charming, clean and had everything we needed. It was the perfect space to land in after exploring the area. We are already looking forward to coming back!

I felt the property was four stars, and my husband gave it two, so we met in the middle at a three star review.First the pros: despite having a newborn at home, our host was excellent with prompt and thorough communication. Really on top of things; we couldn’t have asked for better in that regard.The standout was the outdoor shower. Blissful. And forget the house – you’re paying for the proximity to the beach. Sand was clean and close and fantastic. The neighborhood is safe and welcoming and calm. We loved how well appointed the kitchen was, even noticing some all clad and le creuset. And the beds were comfortable.It’s a small cabin like space. And that’s OK, it’s part of the charm. But it needs some sprucing up. I let the owners know there were patches on the kitchen ceiling where plaster was literally coming off in large flakes and raining down. Looked like possible moisture damage. Which brings me to the smell. If you’re sensitive to mold, you need to know it’s a bit overpowering. You acclimate, but when you first come in after spending time outside, it’s strong. I have stayed in seaside homes in 6 different countries, and this is the first time one smelled. It would take time and money to remediate, but probably should be done at some point. The bicycles…one had a flat tire that no amount of pumping up would save; the beach umbrella we found was also folding in on itself in places. We made it work. With some TLC, Bubba’s could be back to 5 stars.

Perfect little get away

Bubba’s cottage is unique and adorable. We had a wonderful stay. The hosts were great with communication and the house is meticulously outfitted with everything you need to cook, relax with family and head to the beach. The location is great- just a two minute walk over the dunes to the beach. We especially loved the outdoor shower and full size laundry available to use. We would def recommend staying here!

Tranquil Cottage

The perfect secluded place for relaxation but still an easy drive to the activities and restaurants on the island. The decor is super cute, it had everything we needed and was unbelievably quiet. The beach was just a short walk over the dune and there were hardly any other people. The beach chairs were greatly appreciated. We had a fun playing the video games at night and listening to old albums in the evenings. Sara was super responsive and helpful to our questions. This was the most relaxing trip we have experienced in many years!
